A hero will fall. An emperor will rise.
Mark Antony has avenged Julius Caesar. Victor over Caesar's murderers, Brutus and Cassius, Antony is hailed as the most powerful man in the world.
Yet he cannot be complacent. Octavian, Caesar's heir, is ambitious, intelligent, and ruthless. To hold onto his position, Antony must prove himself with a great military victory.
His gaze turns East, towards Rome's old foe: the Parthian Empire. A formidable opponent, the bones of many legions lie on its battlefields, retaining bitter memories of Rome's greatest disgrace. And with the beguiling Cleopatra distracting him, can Antony come out on top?
From the sands of Parthia to the final clash at Actium, this is the story of the war that destroyed a hero and forged a dynasty — changing Rome forever.
Brimming with ambition, intrigue, and bloodshed, this is perfect for fans of S.J.A. Turney and Conn Iggulden.
Alex Gough is an author of Roman historical adventures. The Carbo Chronicles, including Watchmen of Rome and Bandits of Rome, was written as a result of a lifelong obsession with ancient Rome and the culmination of extensive research into the underclasses of the time.
